The business set up in Austria is conservative and hierarchical and to ensure successful cross cultural management, managers should attempt to conform to the rules and regulations that abound.

Intercultural adaptability requires an understanding of the importance of each person’s very distinct role within an organization. When managing in Austria, maintaining those roles helps to keep order. Always demonstrate respect and deference when dealing with people at a higher level. First impressions are important and you will be judged on your clothing and demeanor. Wear conservative clothes that are well tailored if you want to be treated with respect.

Managers make a great show of working hard, within the official working hours. Neither managers nor subordinates expect to work beyond the regular workday.

The business set up in Algeria is conservative and hierarchical and to ensure successful cross cultural management it is important to remember that strictly defined roles exist. Alway err on the side of conservative behaviour through your dress code and general conduct and show and expect to be shown the appropriate deference to position, age and rank.

Intercultural adaptability relies on an understanding of this hierarchical system. This belief means that people believe their supervisors have been chosen because of their greater experience. It’s seen as inappropriate to question any supervisor’s decisions and managers should not consult lower-ranking individuals in the decision-making process.

Managers in Algeria are often paternalistic and relationships with their employees usually overlap into personal areas.

The business set up in Germany is extremely formal. In order to achieve successful cross cultural management, you must be prepared for a host of regulations, guidelines, and principles covering every aspect of conducting business in Germany. German businesspeople have deep-seated rules and regulations. This is a formal culture that believes time is money. Relationships are clearly defined, which intimates the type of communication and behaviors expected.

Some employees in Germany do not feel that they are authorized by station, education, or position to either aspire to leadership or to express themselves freely in management circles. Nevertheless many do, and especially with the influence of intercultural expansion and globalization, organizations are tending to rely more heavily on the wisdom of their people and not just the direction of leadership

Effective cross cultural management will bear in mind that in business it is safest to be formal and reserved in your behavior and to expect that your Swiss colleagues will be the same. Arrive on time for meetings, show the proper deference to rank and position, and do not attempt to become familiar too quickly. Many companies are conservative, although this may change depending upon the industry as well as the canton.

It is wise to be direct when dealing with the Swiss, as they will undoubtedly be direct when speaking with you. This is not a culture that deals in innuendo and non-verbal communication

Successful cross cultural management will understand the importance of maintaining a degree of formality and treating everyone with respect. Patience is critical to successful business dealings.

Emiratis prefer to deal with people they know. They spend a great deal of time in relationship building. This is a crucial process and you would be wise not to rush it. Expect things to take longer than they would in a more western culture. It may take several meetings to accomplish what could be handled by a telephone call at home and patience may be a necessary cross cultural attribute.
